These strings came on my DB...the E string is different from the A, D and G...can anyone tell me what they are?

The E looks like a Helicore Orchestra and the others could be Spirocores. If I'm right, that's one weird combo.
Show the scroll ends to narrow it down.

Yes, that's a Helicore E and the others are colored correctly to be Spiro Mittels. The Helicore is primarily a bowing string without much pizz sustain and the Spiros are great jazz pizz strings with a lot of sustain. A Spiro E will balance out the set better, I think.
